91 000 74051 MYK LATICRETE HYDRO BAN® is a high-performance, liquid-applied waterproofing and crack-isolation membrane. It's a single-component, self-curing liquid rubber polymer that forms a flexible, seamless, load-bearing waterproof barrier when applied, without the need for fabric reinforcement even in corners or coves.
✅ What it is / Key Features
Thin and seamless — when cured, the membrane is only about 0.5 mm–0.8 mm (0.020"–0.030") thick.
Flexible & crack-bridging — offers anti-fracture protection, capable of bridging substrate cracks up to ~3 mm (≈ 1/8").
Fast curing & early flood-testing — under suitable conditions, allows flood testing as early as 24–48 hours after application.
Bonds to diverse substrates — adheres directly to concrete, cement plaster/screed, cement mortar beds, cement backer boards, brick masonry, even metal or PVC plumbing fixtures (subject to guidelines)
Tiles/stones can be installed directly — supports tiling, brickwork or stone finishes directly over the cured membrane without additional layers.
Safe & durable — non-flammable, solvent-free, meets recognized waterproofing standards (e.g. ANSI A118.10 / A118.12), and includes antimicrobial protection to resist mold and mildew.
��️ Typical Applications
Hydro BAN is suitable for a wide range of waterproofing needs including:
Bathrooms, shower pans and stalls — wet areas in residential or commercial properties.
Kitchens, laundries, utility areas — zones prone to moisture or water spillage.
Balconies, terraces, decks — exterior or semi-exterior spaces requiring waterproofing over mortar or concrete base.
Swimming pools, fountains, water bodies — where reliable waterproofing and crack-isolation are critical.
Under tile/stone installations — tile, brick or stone floors/walls built directly over the membrane.
�� Packaging & Coverage
Supplied in pails (typical industrial/commercial sizes) as liquid membrane.
Coverage roughly 225–250 sq.ft per 20-litre pail (two coats typical, depending on substrate and application).
✅ Benefits – Why Use HYDRO BAN
Eliminates need for fabric rolls or sheet membranes — simpler, faster application.
Saves time — quick drying, early flood testing enables faster tiling schedule.
Provides strong crack-bridging and waterproofing — enhances durability of wet-area installations, reduces risk of leaks or seepage even with minor substrate movement.
Versatile — works on many substrates (concrete, mortar, plaster, masonry, etc.), interior or exterior, for residential or commercial jobs.
